Benefit Badgal Plum Mascara

my favorite mascara

this mascara is the ultimate for a dramatic look. do not be intimidated by its purple color, although it apears very purple on the wand, it goes on dark, but slightly softer looking than black. it delivers bold, thick, lengthened lashes, i look like im wearing falsies! my lashes are still separated and have no clumps. my green eyes are glowing! this is the best for a unique drama for the eyes.

Aquaphor Healing Ointment

winter essential

this magical jar's contents go on my heels, cuticles, lips, face, hands, elbows, knees... it is everything vaseline wants to be but isnt because vaseline sucks and never absorbs. this absorbs quickly and leaves skin soft, supple, and healed.

Organix Soft and Silky Vanilla Silk Conditioner

amazing

this conditioner is perfect. it is very rich and moisturizing but still light and will not weight your hair down. it smells appallingly delicious, really like vanilla. my hair after using this product (with the coconut shampoo) is shiny, smooth, bouncy, super soft, and smells heavenly! a must for anyone who wants beautiful hair with a beautiful smell!

C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Balm Stick-No Shine

good lip balm

i like to use this while away from home after eating accompanied by an altoid for a quick breath freshening. this creamy balm is not too light, but for some reason is slightly glossy on me, but thats not a bad thing to me. it has a wonderful scent/taste like peppermint patties, it may moisturize well but i wouldnt know as i end up licking it all off! i have to reapply a lot in order for it to have a marked affect due to my uncontrollable licking, but if i apply too much my lips turn white! hm... overall a good product.

Rosebud Perfume Co. Smith's Rosebud Salve Tin

good stuff

with a lovely scent and cute packaging, rosebud salve is a good moisturizer for all skin. it was not super effective on my lips though :( constant reapplication was necessary. i liked this product but prefer the co bigelow rosebud, which it seems that this is based on. a pretty good product, but there are better things out there, especially when this, in a "special petrolatum base" seems just like enriched vaseline.

Lush Dusting Powders

the first and only body powder i have and will use!

i have silky underwear, although i tried the discontinued bare naked lady. bare naked lady imparted a slight shimmer and a faint rose scent, that was my first lush dusting powder. silky underwear, oh my god, is the best. i put some on after moisturizing , and my skin is smooth and silky all day. it is a very fine powder, almost moisturizing, and does not leave a chalky finish. it smells absolutely godly! a lovely warm floral, very light but still there. i nix perfume for this when i exercise, and when im sweating it almost smells better. a beautiful product sensual to apply, and to catch the occasional whiff of during the day.

Essie Nail Polish

the best.

essie polish has the best brush, the best consistency, the best colors, the best wear, the best glossiness... it is superior in every way. i have it in several colors, but mademoiselle is my favorite. it is the perfect color. i have no complaints on this godsend! worth every penny.

Sally Hansen Salon Nail Lacquer

wonderful drugstore nail polish

like everyone else it seems commenting on this product, i am an opi and essie fan. they are the definite standard to which all nail polish aspires. however, i have this nail polish in two colors, a fire red and haute chocolate (shamelessly copying chanel, i know) and both are wonderful! the red is very vivid, its great for summer/spring because of its vibrant orangey hue. the haute chocolate is a wonderful milk chocolate color with a shimmering goldness to it. it has a perfect consistency and dries quickly. the brush is far superior to others in the drugstore, and i certainly prefer this nail polish's brush to chanel's! i have had no problems EVER with streaking or separation, and this lasts pretty long too. i dont know what everyone else's problem is with this. i would recommend it to anyone having a hard time shelling our for their preferred opi or essie in hard economic times like these. and also to anyone looking for a cheaper trendy deep brown nail color comparable to that of chanel.

L'Occitane Honey Gentle Water

lovely scent

this is a beautiful fragrance, smelling very light and fresh but still warm. it was my first fragrance, which i received in fourth grade for christmas. i still have it, and now i spay on a bit when i need a lift. because it is alcohol free, i spray it onto my hair without reservation. whenever i take my hair down from a ponytail, heads turn. ive turned several friends onto it, there is no one ive met who hasnt liked this perfume. highly recommended.

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

the best!!!

this is the perfect lip balm. it has a wonderful texture, not too waxy but still pretty solid. it has a pleasant but not too strong minty scent, which makes your lips tingle pleasantly and freshens your breath. although not glossy, it adds a very slight sheen to your lips if you apply a lot which gives a bit of dimension. i just tear through this stuff. love it.
